Set on the pristine Schoodic Peninsula, this restored 4BR/2BA cottage provides the ultimate New England retreat. Originally built in 1900, this two-story home boasts original charm paired with beautiful modern upgrades.

Your quintessential Maine waterfront getaway features two sunlit living areas and a spacious deck with sweeping views of Prospect Harbor.

Take a ferry to Bar Harbor for exquisite shopping and dining or explore the nature trails in Acadia National Park; both are located within driving distance (approximately 4 miles away).

LIVING AREA

The bright living room serves as the social hub of the home; recline on the chaise lounge chair or kick back on the sofa and watch shows on the TV.

A second living area boasts wall-to-wall windows and includes a sofa, armchair, and rocking chair.

Fix a cup of tea and relax in the den that offers an additional sofa and plush armchair.

KITCHEN & DINING

Sharpen your culinary skills in the well-equipped kitchen with a full suite of all-white appliances. Gather at the four-person dining table for a traditional New England lobster dinner.

BED & BATH

This home sleeps eight guests in four bedrooms.

The master bedroom is outfitted with a full-size bed and views of the harbor. The bathroom includes a tub/shower combination.

A second bedroom features a full-size bed and water views. The third bedroom has a twin-size bed and an armchair. A second bath provides a walk-in shower.

The fourth guest room, located in the loft, is configured with a full-size bed and a twin-size bed.

OUTDOOR AREA

Take in the fresh air on the large deck overlooking Prospect Harbor. After a fun-filled day, concoct a refreshing beverage and unwind on comfortable outdoor furniture while dinner sizzles on the grill. Cast a line into the harbor from the rocky beach or play yard games on the well-maintained lawn surrounding the property.

EXTRA AMENITIES

This property is pet-friendly. Parking is available for four vehicles in the driveway. A washer/dryer and complimentary Wi-Fi are provided.

THE LOCATION

Conveniently located just 4 miles from Winter Harbor. Explore the Schoodic Peninsula at low tide and walk along the sandbar to Little Moose Island. Acadia National Park is also just 4 miles away, where you can bike or hike miles of exquisite trails.

Check out local hot spot The Pickled Wrinkle for American fare, or cruise to Winter Harbor for innovative seaside dining at the Salt Box.

For a quintessential New England experience take a ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor (approximately 1 hour away); lighthouse tours, eclectic shops, and strolls along the island await at this Northeastern wonderland.

Serenity by the Sea
Spacious older home with spectacular views. The area is very quiet and relatively secluded. This is a quiet getaway near the less populated part of Acadia Park. The home was cute, homey, clean and comfortable. It had every amenity we needed for a nice place to stay near Acadia. We had no issues with the water and appreciated the "heads up" in the description. We spaced out showers, laundry, and dishwashing, so no problem. The view from the kitchen and den are accurate in the listing, absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

Peaceful retreat
Myself and my family stayed at this property for a week. Had a few bumps when we first got there but the property manager was absolutely amazing. Responded immediately and got everything straightened out. The property is beautiful whether you are outside or looking out from inside. Was further than I thought from Acadia but we managed. No issues with the hot water and there were 6 of us. We had fun filled days and very peaceful relaxing evenings. Wonderful rental.

Great house, great location!
This house was exactly as described in the listing. Beautiful property! We enjoyed the area and it was easy to get to the local parks and businesses. The property provided linens, towels and kitchenware. We had no problem with the water pressure during our visit. The property managers were prompt in responding to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!
